The term “missions” has been used to define many things over the years. The logic has been whether some program, or method, or type of ministry is the key factor to define what the “mission” is. In some cases it has meant the difference between someone getting financial support, because they are or are not doing “missions.” I have been told on different occasions, “We would like to support you, but we only support this particular kind of ‘mission’ or missionary.” I find all of this ironic and in most cases very sad. I don’t know how you define the term or what you consider it to be. I only know what it means to our family.
